This item is actually Arctiva's Windshield Balaclava, not a Windbloc, it's incorrectly titled on Dennis Kirk's website. I told them about it, but they told me it's how Arctiva allows them to title it on this website. Anyways, when I received this it has "Windshield" on the tag & receipt, not "Windbloc", just want to clear up any confusion.

Ok, on to the real review. The L/XL runs BIG!!! I wear a Large Arctic Cat TXI helmet & Large HJC CS-MX helmet, so I decided to get a "Large" Windshield Balaclava. Wrong! It was huge, I could turn it all the way around my head, was not forming to my head at all. I contacted DK because I needed an exchange, they quickly turned around and sent me a S/M one instead, P/N 3408582SM. This one fits perfectly! Not too tight, not too loose, just right!

If you wear an XL helmet, get the L/XL, if you wear a Large, get a S/M. Just want to clear that up for some so you don't have to make an exchange.

Other than that, this is the BEST balaclava, hands-down! Blocks all the cold wind while snowmobiling and is breathable too. Great neck coverage too, tucks into the collar of your jacket very well.

Fit good, and received about 14 hours after I ordered it! Very warm for ice fishing in Canada in -30 weather. No need for another hat after I get to my spot and take the my helmet off. Probably too warm for most normal riding situations. Face seems to absorb some moisture around mouth and then freeze when you take it off. Overall great for what I use it for and would buy another one.

I bought an open face helmet for riding the ATV but thought I would try it for snowmobiling. I was afraid it would be too cold so I got the Artiva windbloc balaclava. Wow this balaclava is warm and blocks all wind. We rode on a -5°F day and I did not get cold once. My full faced helmet will sit on the shelf now. A bit tight the first time I put it on but after a few hours of riding it had streached out to my head and was very comfortable.

I really like the feels of this balaclava against my face compared to others. It is very warm, without getting so warm that you start to perspire. I was surprised how well it worked in the wind too. I would definitely buy this again!

No more throw away head socks. No more wind burn on the neck. Probably best balaclava I've used for snowmobiling. The fit is a bit tight over the ears, however its not uncomfortable when riding and allows helmet to fit better and because it is more snug, it doesn't move around and cover my eyes as others have in the past. Length is perfect to cover the neck, gives added protection from wind. A bit pricey, but worth it.

BEST ANSWER:The product sucked so my boyfriend returned it. AND we didn't get a full refund for the return. It was never worn, tags were still on returned it within a week of the purchase and we still got only $27 back. Go buy one from Burton or somewhere that makes quality products!!

The balaclava will be varied in its effect, it shouldn't have an impact on fogging of your goggles as it's outside of the goggles themselves. Any fogging would be due to poor seal of the goggle around your face or helmet.
